nice, i'm still in a&p school but i'll be done in about 6 months, but i work at gulfstream on the weekends, I know what you mean by stuck screws, I also carry a tube of that ---- with me in my bag

use a ------ chisel.. well thats what i use on break-a-way bolts for ignition housings. chisel right there on the side of the head in the loosen direction

Re: Mostly stripped phillips head bolt... fuck
 

i guess i might be trying the chisel now... i just tried the valve grinding compound but the thread is too far gone. this is rediculous

Re: Mostly stripped phillips head bolt... fuck
 

try welding the most old beat up flat tip you can to the head. should work. then just grind off the weld and put a new tip on the screw driver.

You could try a "bolt out". http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-Shop_To..._Out_Set_52162

They sell a smaller sized kit with 1/4 drive tangs like drill-driver bits. The inner teeth cut into the head of the bolt/screw. They've saved me a couple times.

your talkin on the bar end? i bet that sucks cause there made to sit flush.. sometimes i use my cordless drill, sounds stupid but if you set it on like half torque setting so it makes it sort of a weak impacting vibrating effect like a impact gun


bar ends are cheap on ebay anyways, just drill at that bitch

Sweet, good to see some other a&p types on here. I'll second the valve grinding compound.
